The Golden Lullaby

Back at my old job, I used to pop into the Starbucks across the street almost every day. It became such a habit over the years that the baristas knew my order before I even said a word. One day, just before one of them was about to resign, she asked me what cologne I was wearing. It was this one. I’ve always been into clean scents, especially since I live in a tropical climate where the heat makes everything feel a little more intense the moment you step out of an air-conditioned room. But this fragrance handled that perfectly. Even when I’d start to sweat, it still smelled soft and fresh with this gentle sweet zest. Never overpowering, just quietly there. I’m honestly so sad it’s been discontinued. Even my aunt smelled it on me once and asked where she could buy it. All I could say was, sadly, we probably never will again. Zara x Jo Malone, please bring this one back.

There’s not a single Zara perfume I liked EXCEPT for this one!!!! So good that I immediately bought 2 bottles. First spray instantly hits you with a light citrus, then you eventually smell the pear, then the musk. I live in Manila with a very tropical climate so I know I’ll be using this A LOT. Good one Zara! Finally a real fresh and clean scent from them.

I am obsessed with this scent even though I am not a big musk lover! It's such a gentle pear and musk combination, so comforting. I like to spray it after taking a morning shower, it gives me a sense of freshness and calmness. However, I have stopped using it on hot days, as I feel it turns a bit sour then.

If you find this gem in your local Zara, please grab it. It's a very good morning scent, to run errands, jogging, gym, you name it. Amazing, unisex, all ages. I'm obsessed It performs gracefully in the heat, sorry if it's a bit iffy but, this scent mixes so well with sweat

This is sold out, I can’t find it anymore in Zara Malaysia. Thankfully I got 2 bottles before it went on sale. This ‘Golden Lullaby’ scent is an easy to use anytime fragrance and there’s even a baby friendly version called ‘Le Petit Lullaby’.
